Have you ever wondered how can you earn more as a Lawyer? Overall, lawyers have a very high average annual salary, with starting salaries being highly competitive. But high fee splits and long work hours can make it feel like you’re getting paid less than you deserve. It might seem that traditional law work under a firm is the best way to maximise your earnings as a lawyer, but by working as a consultant solicitor you could be taking home a much higher percentage of your billing without having to work any overtime.
When you become a solicitor consultant you are self-employed, meaning that you are fully in control of when your work, what cases you choose, and how much you can earn. By choosing your own hours and your own cases, you can make long working nights and high caseload quotas a thing of the past, without having to take a pay cut. At Taylor Rose, we help our consultant solicitors reach their full potential as lawyers, providing access to back-office support, office infrastructure, and a dedicated consultant liaison team to help our self-employed solicitors feel secure and confident in their careers. We will give you all the support you need so that you can successfully work from home if this suits you, or we can offer a full or part-time desk in one of our comfortable offices across the country. In exchange for our extensive back-office support, we offer a 70/30 fee split in your favour, increasing to 75/25 when you reach £250,000, or if you wish to use one of our offices, we can offer a 60/40 split with a rise to 65/35. With our competitive consultant solicitor fee sharing, you could be taking home a much bigger portion of your pay when compared to working as an employed lawyer. Plus, you get the benefits of flexible working and the ability to fit your home life around your working hours instead of the other way around. Not only could you be earning much more, but you may also find that you are much more productive and satisfied with your career than you were before.
At Taylor Rose, we want to work with lawyers who love what they do, to help them increase their potential and gain a better work-life balance whilst still earning what they deserve. If you’re looking for solicitor jobs near you, we have over 30 offices across England and are happy to consider home working, office working or hybrid options so that your law work suits your lifestyle. Moving into self-employed consultant work can be daunting if you have only ever worked as an employed lawyer, but our team can help you fully understand your finances and the job satisfaction of our current consultants speaks for itself. If you want to learn more, we can put you in touch with one of our current consultants who can share their story with you and tell you how they increased their earning potential by becoming a consultant solicitor.
